Confirmed Trade: [ARI/NJD] Taylor Hall (50%), Speers for c. 1st, Cond. Pick, Kevin Bahl, Nate Schnaar & Nick Merkley

[RORbacon]

Massive gross hall for a rental

Fixed

 

[inthe6ix]

sounds like Schnarr, Bahl, Merkley, conditional 1st, conditional 3rd

EDIT:

 

[The Great Weal]

So picks+prospect(s) to New Jersey, Hall to Arizona and Halls bag to Colorado. What a steal by Sakic!

 

[WSS11]

 

[Forge]

Devils beat writer for the athletic says it does include Bahl.

 

[895]

Those prospects are all hit or miss.

Good trade for the Coyotes.

 

[Name Nameless]

Didn't want this, I admit. Nothing else to do than welcome him now.

I wonder who the Devils will pick with the Ari first overall (or firsts overalls) they get with this. And if it is right Bahl (?) is such a stud.

 

[Soundgarden]

Massive gross haul for a rental

The first is conditional and they have a lot of good young defensemen so Bahl is expendable. It's not that crazy. Merkley has 3 goals in the AHL this year.

 

[John Eichel da GOAT]

Boring. I could see them still missing the playoffs.

 

[BonMorrison]

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Holy Merkley too?? That 1st better be top 10 protected. Massive overpayment if not.

 

[OmniSens]

That's a Hall of a trade.

 

[oXo Cube]

It's a good thing the pick is conditional because the only thing you can reliably say Taylor Hall wins consistently is draft lotteries.

Should be a good add for Arizona, damn it.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Looks like a good year for Arizona to move all in.. most of the pacific is a mess right now.

Little risky in the sense that he might not stay with em, but screw it I like the move.

 

[snowkiddin]

Bad bad deal for the Coyotes

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Bahl is good, but that's kind of brutal for NJ. No one beat that? Just seems like the definition of quantity.

Guess teams were very unsure of Hall's plans in FA.

 

[TheGwy]

 

[rt]

Wait, so both picks are conditional?

 

[Muffin]

Can't see them not getting a 1st, pretty sure the condition will just be lottery protection.

 

[ColdSteel2]

Good for Arizona. Seems like a reasonable price and they have a team that can go far in the playoffs. Would love to see them win the Cup.

 

[Mike Jones]

Somewhere I hope that goofball Chirelli is wondering why he couldn't get a return like that when he shipped Hall to New Jersey.

 

[Doctor No]

I've always liked Merkley - more than most, and I guess more than the Coyotes (given how he's moved within their system lately).

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

Conditional first? uhhhh

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Devils got a good prospect, 2 likely busts/AHL players, a cond 1st, and another cond 3rd pick.

That is not a very good haul if the cond 1st doesn't hit.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

So New Jersey will get another 1st OA pick when Hall takes his Lottery Luck to the desert

 

[Canadian Canuck]

CONFIRMED: Hall will be 50% retained.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Bahl+1st+? Lot to pay for a rental but Hall sure is worth it. Plus its nice that Arizona gets him for most of the season, instead of the post trade deadline games+playoffs.

 

[BLNY]

Since when did Weeks start breaking trade details.

He's based in NYC and has ties to the NJD. Not a stretch.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Looks like pretty solid package for the devils also... all and all a good trade for both sides imo.

 

[Kamiccolo]

God awful move by Arizona. Wayyyy too much for Hall who is basically a pure rental. What are the chances he stays healthy the whole season for them? Congrats Devils fans.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Where Hall goes, trouble happens.... yotes gonna free fall in standings

 

[Hansen]

Not a big fan of any of the prospects, interested to see conditions on the 1st

This might be a big steal for Coyotes

 

[42]

That's not bad for ARI. Didn't give up that much and most importantly, the 1st round pick is conditional.

 

[CraigsList]

per McKenzie Devils retain 50% on Hall's contract

 

[JungleBeat]

Since when did Weeks start breaking trade details.

 

[DRW204]

 

[BonMorrison]

Is Merkley still a good prospect or nah?

Was he ever a good prospect? I don't remember.

 

[Ola]

Eh that is a great deal for Taylor Hall...

 

[Ararana]

Glad it wasn't Colorado.

Chayka is a bit of a moron. That's way too much for maybe a playoff round or two and watching Hall walk.

 

[horner]

They just need defenceman

 

[JoemAvs]

Glad it wasn't Colorado.

Chayka is a bit of a moron. That's way too much for maybe a playoff round or two and watching Hall walk.

Meh.
He didn't have to touch any of his top prospects and from the looks of it got away with only 1st even if he re.-signs (although that could be wrong. We don't exactly know yet what the conditions are).

Its a bit of a gamble but pretty much in line with for what recent rentals went. Not a great trade for the Devils but probably the best Shero can do for a pure rental...

EDIT:
Nevermind. These potential 2 1sts make it a pretty decent trade for Shero IMO. But unlikely that he will see both 1sts probably.

 

[Marshall]

Whatever the final haul, grats to Coyotes fans - great to see the team making some big moves.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Hall is a great fit with Stepan or Soderberg. The Pacific is in trouble.

 

[Hammettf2b]

Devils got a good prospect, 2 likely busts/AHL players, a cond 1st, and another cond 3rd pick.

That is not a very good haul if the cond 1st doesn't hit.

Sounds good to me. What do you expect from a UFA?

 

[John Eichel da GOAT]

Glad it wasn't Colorado.

Chayka is a bit of a moron. That's way too much for maybe a playoff round or two and watching Hall walk.

Yup. This is Blue Jackets v2 all over again. Any Central team will destroy them if they even make it that far to play one of them.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Potentially two firsts!?!?!?!? Holy mother of God that's a massive overpayment.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Is Merkley still a good prospect or nah?

Was he ever a good prospect? I don't remember.

I didnt mind him in junior but was surprised he was a 1st rounder(thought he would be a 2nd or 3rd)... hasnt done too much in pro yet

 

[Sansbacon]

Pretty decent Hall for both teams.
